where to buy t-connectors?

[jinkai]

Hi, would like to ask if anyone knows of a place to get leading edge connectors and/or t-connectors for carbon rods. Something like these:

Not sure where this should go, so placed it in off-topic

ask the kite flyers..... rc and non-rc

Stunt kite and RC kites use carbon rods and their connectors are something like that.

You can always get a vpost account and have it sent to the vpost place of collection.

I don't know of any local source.

rotor sells the connector. but its only for 2.5mm rod or 3mm rod...
or maybe u would want to try getting nylon tube which can be found somewhere around kelantan lane area.

Thanks

Will check out those kite site links, thanks =). However I think going down to rotor would be my best bet for the moment...

Blurchaoz, what do you mean by using nylon tubes?

Oh one more question, would anyone know where the socket for ball-socket joints like this (see attachment) can be bought?

[blurchaoz]

nylon tube also known as pneumatic tube.
this is how the nylon tube looks like. cut them up into ur desired length and start bending them, use a string to go over ur nylon tube and CA the string to the nylon tube for reinforcement. to built up ur own joints.
